England's run up to the Indian tour has been perfect in every way. The ECB must be extremely baffled. Surely by 'loaning' the England Cricket Team to a self promoting American billionnaire so he could pit their wits against the likes of Middlesex is the perfect preparation for a tour against a team that have just beaten the Aussies 2-0. Pietersen says the huge loss to a team made of of mostly club players was just a blip. Of course if by 'blip' he means incompetent batsman and injured bowlers then he's quite correct.
England now have......wait for it.......SEVEN one day international matches in little more than a two week period followed closely by two back-to-back test matches. The word 'whitewash' springs to mind!
